Over 1,000 boxes of cookies in the house, most of the girls in Marian's troop have picked them up, only one more mom to pick her daughter's cookies. Then we have the task of delivering both Marian's and Anna's orders, which total about 250 boxes!! Marian has the idea of putting them all in her red wagon, but I told they would not fit.
Gabriel goes to Birmingham, AL for a Math trip this weekend and they have also been preparing for the big State competition in March.
Anna is exhausted everyday from OZ practice and stumbles off to bed.
We went to a presentation last night by one of the "Lost Boys" of Sudan. He is in the United States attending college, and he amazed the youth group by his story. He was 7 when he left Sudan and walked 1,000 miles without shoes! He didn't own a pair of shoes for 4 more years. It is amazing he is even alive today.
The Girl Scout International Festival is this weekend and I've been making the passports for the girls. They will get a small booklet and at each booth they will have to answer a question in the booklet, if it's correct, they get stamped (just like a real passport).
Weird occurrence this morning, it's raining here. But, it's so warm there is thunder and lightning. Never had a winter storm with thunder and lightning. But, now that I google it, thunder and lightning can happen in warm rain or even cold snow. It's a phenomenon called Thundersnow. Never heard of that before, might be cool to see.
